Training your dog to come to you

A really important skill for your dog to know is to come when they’re
called. This makes it easy for you to control your dog and keep from
harm, as well as your dog harming anybody else. If your dog decides not
come to you when you ask him to you, he might get hit by a car. Thus it
is a good idea that you should really make sure that your dog is well
trained in the arts of coming to you when you ask it to.

Make sure they will heed your call and not just standing there

How to train your dog to come to you.

It is relatively easy to train your dog to come to you when you call
it. Just saying praise and giving treats will be everything that you
need to do and within a few weeks your dog should be great at it. One of
the few things that people forget is that dogs forget. If you want your
dog to remember everything, to remember all of the tricks and commands
that you teach it. You’re going to need to retrain those every once in a
while, so every few months spend about half an hour to an hour to call
your dog come to you again. Just this is just to shape up.
Just like humans dogs learn the best when they are having fun. This gets
the dog motivated and active in the training as well as gets you to
really have fun as well. When you’re training your dog, not only are you
trying to train it but you try and spend quality time, you’re trying to
have fun.
A great game that you should play when you have maybe 2 to 4 people is
calling you dog back and forth. Your dog will be awarded with treats
whenever he goes to the right person, this is really effective in fun as
long is as you have the right amount of people.
Then we should take this to the next, call your dog when he is asleep or
when he is far away from you. This is the most important-training
because you want your dog to come to you even if you can barely hear
you. Again this will prevent a lot of accidents, both towards your dog
and if your dog will ever harm anyone.
